You are invited to attend a a S Jong Recital by Madam Odette La Fontenay Assisted by Miss Dorothy Hoyle, Violinist at Moose Hall, Elevenlh and Main Streets Oregon City Wednesday evening, October 3rd ON THIS 'OCCASION MADAM LA FONTENAY CONSENTS THAT MR.

EDISON'S RECENT LABORATORY RE-CREATION OF HER VOICE BE HEARD IN COMPARISON Admission by ticket, which may be had free upon request at the Burmelster & Andresen store BUSCH STARTS FACTORY FOR FURNITURE MAKING For the benefit of Clackamas coun ty people, whose patronage has plac ed him as one of the leading business men rf. the county, Frank Busch has purchased a large mill in the county and has already put it into operation as a modern furniture factory. It is planned to manufacture a complete line of up-to-date household furnish ings, and from Mr. Busch's previous experience in the manufacturing line his plans undoubtedly will bear fruit. Within the past week the first fruits of the new factory have been produced. To start with only such articles as' dressers, chiffoniers, breakfast and library tables and kitchen cabinets are to occupy the at tention of the force Mr. Busch has at the new factory, but later on the line will be added to until the plant pro duces practically all the elements of a complete line of furniture. By eliminating the heavy over head expenses of such things as an upholstering department Mr. Busch will be able, he believes, to bring the cost of his furniture down consider ably below that asked even by whole sale houses. For instance, a pretty and convenient breakfast table will be sold through the retail store in this city for less than the company can buy it from the wholesale house, and still there will be a reasonable profit for the factory. Mr. Busch has had many years' ex perience as a furniture maker, hav ing been owner of the Oregon City Manufacturing Co., which burned down some years ago. He took up the retail furniture business follow ing the fire. The new company, to be known as the Busch Furniture Man ufacturing Co., will be independent although controlled by Mr. Busch, and its products will be sold through the large local store. No jobbing business will be carried on, says Edward Busch, who is much interest ed in the new feature of the busi ness, because it is expected to keep the large factory busy supplying the demand of the Busch retail store.

JULIUS WILBUR AGAIN IN TOILS OF RAIDERS Clackamas county's old friend, Julius Wilbur, violator and defter of law and order in this county for sev eral years, just cannot keep out of trouble and cannot Subdue his mania for law breaking. His latest esca pade with the authorities is recited by the Portland police department and the Multnomah county sheriff's office, which conducted a joint raid on Wilbur's new hostelry, the Clair mont tavern, on the Linnton road, early Sunday morning. At the tavern 69 quarts of whisky and one pint of wine were found and confiscated and 17 of the tavern guests were hauled to jail. Tommy Nishioka, the Japanese roustabout who was one of Wilbur's close-mouthed aides at the infamous Friars' club, was taken in the raid on Clairmont tavern. Wilbur himself was releas ed under $250 cash bail and his guests posted $25 each for their ap pearance as witnesses. After Wilbur and his guests had been arrested and brought to the county jail, where they were bailed out, the officers returned to the tav ern to search for liquor. Every inch of the tavern was examined and even the board walks about the place were torn up. Dawn was beginning to break when the officers began their search of the barn. After every part of the barn had been searched the hay loft was tackled. The officers were finally rewarded by iinding 69 quart bottles of whisky hidden away un der several tons of hay. The booze was taken to the county jail. This is but one of several raids against places conducted by Julius Wilbur.

He io now under sentence to serve six months in jail in' Clackamas county, his case having been passed upon last week by the supreme court.

Science has shown that nasal catarrh often indicates a general weakness of the body; and local treatments in the form of snuffs and vapors do little, if any good.
